"From Convent to Conflict: A Nun's Account of the Invasion of Belgium" offers a rare and intimate glimpse into life behind convent walls during the tumultuous years of World War I. Sister Marie Antoine recounts the dramatic upheaval experienced by the Couvent des Filles de Marie in Willebroeck, Belgium, as the German invasion shattered their peaceful existence.

This personal narrative provides a firsthand perspective on the war's impact on civilians, specifically detailing the challenges and fears faced by the nuns as their world transformed. More than just a historical record, it is a testament to faith, resilience, and the human spirit in the face of unimaginable adversity. Explore a unique story from a pivotal moment in European history, brought to life through the eyes of a woman dedicated to her faith amidst the chaos of war.
